Then again, maybe there is something to this trend? Parties kept sketchily dark, omnipresent cheap handles of vodka—we have these tried-and-true methods of maximizing our allure, but what could beat covering ourselves in a cardboard box and tinfoil? We still prefer the vintage and more bohemian-chic alternative: paper bags...
...near Mount Rainier in Washington. Arnold evoked images of "saucers skipping on water" to describe how they flew through the air, but a local newspaper misquoted him, and the term flying saucer was born. That same year, a rancher stumbled upon a 200-yard-long swathe of rubber strips, tinfoil, wood sticks and Scotch tape in Roswell, N.M., and decided to haul the wreckage to a nearby Army airfield, where an excited officer issued a press release claiming a "flying disk" had been recovered.

That's creepy enough when he's having a big-name columnist kiss his ring; when he hurled his tinfoil thunderbolts at a team of college kids, it was too much. "Some people have said, 'Well, he says this all the time,'" Rutgers' team captain Carson told TIME. "But does that justify the remarks he's made about anyone...
